Notes

Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen and Roger Semon / Mastered by Lene Reidel and Vic Anesini.

Although not listed on the cover or in the booklet, take 10 of 'This Is Our Dance' can be heard in between takes 9 and 11 (CD2, track 7).

What is is listed as 'Heart Of Rome - takes 2, 3 (undubbed master)' (CD2, track 9) is actually takes 2 and 3 along with the work part take 1 - there is no undubbed master, only the individual takes used for the master.

The original master of 'Rags To Riches' was take 4 with a vocal repair "cuss me" (changed to "kiss me"), spliced with the line "tell me you're mine ever more" from take 3, along with a piano intro overdub. On this set however, there is a different splice from take 3 ("...that I'm living for, hold me and kiss me, and tell me you're mine ever more") without the take 4 vocal repair, and it now this master that is being used on all later releases.

The second pressing of this set, released in 2013, can be distinguished from the original pressing by differences on the actual CDs, where the text had embossed writing on the original CDs. There is also more clear plastic shown in the centre of the CDs on the second pressing.

The third pressing, released in 2021, has the text on the CDs the same as the first pressing, with no emboss, but, like the second pressing, there is more clear plastic shown in the centre of the CDs than on the first pressing.
